Tajani was addressing an Inter-Religious Meeting by Top Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox Christians, Together with Jewish, Muslim and Budhist Leaders of Religious Communities in Strasbourg's region, where he was the Key-note Speaker, according to his role as EU Parliament's vice-President responsible for Inter-Religious Dialogue.

While the rest of his Speech was mainly Focused on presenting MEPs' activities, since 2014, about Dialogue between Religious Communities, as well as relevant prospects in the foreseable Future, suddenly, while approaching the Conclusion, he made a Surprize Move, by Denouncing some less known Recent Dramatic Developments :

- EU Parliament's 1st vice-President strongly Criticized what he called "an Intensification of Violent Acts against Jewish People" in Europe, and particularly "in Germany" and some other EU Countries, Last Year, which Grew from almost 4.000 in the Past, up to about 8.000 per year Nowadays, as he pointed out.

=> - This is a "very Worrying" new Phenomenon, which makes People Wonder whether it might Provoke a kind of "New Exodus" of Jews "to Israel", Tajani Warned, in this regard, inte alia.

During 2015-2016 much More than 1,5 Million Irregular Migrants/Mass Asylum Seekers notoriously came, as an UnPrecedented Huge "Tsunami", through Turkey to Europe, when Turkish a.o. Smugglers Exploited a recent Change of Government in Greece, at EU's External Borders, etc.

Moreover, as it was Found, Later-on, (f.ex. by EU Officials in Brussels, cited by the mainstream German Press, etc), Ankara's Authorities had even Systematicaly "Chosen" those that they send to Europe, f.ex., by Excluding Educated and Qualified People, etc., and pushing through almost Entirely Muslims, (to the point that even Pope Francis, when he went in the Greek Islands to Take 2 Muslim and 1 Christian Family of Asylum Seekers to Host at the Vatican, he didn't find Any Christian Family at all, being Obliged to take with him All 3 out of 3 Families Totaly composed by Muslims only, up to 100%... Christian and Other Religious Minorities (f.ex. Yazidi, etc) Persecuted by "ISIS" Terrorists and other Islamist Extremists in Syria and/or Iraq reportedly Prefered to go to Lebanon, Jordan, or even ...to faraway Armenia, instead of being Obliged to be Closed at controversial Turkish Camps, squeezed in UnHealthy Conditions, which have Provoked Mass Protests Silenced by Brutal Oppression from the Turkish Police, and Surrouned by Barbed Wire and Armed Soldiers, reportedly imposing Gang-leaders of "Heavy Islamic Agenda", denounced even by Mainstream International Medias. Meanwhile, various Violent Attacks spread also Among such Mass Asylum seekers themselves, f.ex. in Berlin, etc., Affecting even Children, to the point that, f.ex., an Iraqi Refugee, who had arrived Earlier in Germany, Later-on, Prefered to ...Return Back to Iraq, in order to Save his Family from more Violent Aggressions in Europe ! (as mainstream "Die Welt" and other German Media reported).

The Manifold "Selection" that Turkish Authorities and/or Smugglers' Network actually did, de Facto, among various potential Mass Asylum Seekers/Irregular Migrants, has Obviously Undermined and almost Destroyed the Traditionaly "Noble" Aura which used to stimulate Human Sympathy and Solidarity around the Quality of "Refugee", throughout the History of Mankind.

On the Contrary, they reportedly Dissuaded and/or Obstructed many Real Refugees to reach Europe, - as, f.ex., the unforgettable image, (even if Scandalously Distorded and overExploited for the Contrary of what it really was), of that small Kurdish Boy from Kobane area, whose Poor Father slept even in Turkish WC in order to Find Money to Pay the Turkish Smugglers, who Finally Killed all his Family by suddenly Abandoning and Sabotaging the Makeshift Floating Plastic Boat in which they had to cross the Aegean Sea towards the Greek Islands, OverNight.

Instead, they Send, obviously, Many Thugs, petty Criminals, or even Deadly Islamist Terrorists, as it was found later on. But, perhaps the Worse, was the Recent Multiplication of Horrible and Disgusting, Brutal Rapes (sometimes even Murder) of Defenseless Victims : Including Young Girls Aged only 12-14, and/or Small Boys 5 or 10 years old, even Children of Refugees, (f.ex. in Austria, in Germany, in the Greek Islands, etc), added to Mass Violent Assaults and/or Gang Rapes, etc., (f.ex. in Germany, Finland, Sweden : where Rapes Doubled on 2016, etc), covering the Name of "Refugee" with Dirt, as Never Before. To the grand Benefit of the Turkish Regime, which used notoriously to Face the ECHR-Backed Human Rights of Armenian, Greek, Cypriot, Kurdish, and other Real, Honest and Tragic Refugees, (Both War Refugees, and Political Refugees, Personaly Targetted for their Struggle against Oppression for Liberty and/or Human Dignity, etc), who, Now, don't even dare use that Name in Public no more...

Even if the Closure of Western Balkans' a.o. Borders by 5 or 6 European Countries, since February 2016, managed to Drasticaly Diminish the Number of Massive Tresspassing from Turkey infiltrating inside Europe, neverthess, the Recent Setbacks of "ISIL"s and Other Terrorists and Islamist Extremist Armed Gangs, mainly in Syria, (f.ex. in Alepo, around Raqqa, etc) and Iraq (f.ex. near Mosul, etc), have notoriously Fueled Concerns among various Observers, Worried for probable Attempts of Further Infiltrations in Europe by even Harder Islamit Fundamentalists, (in Addition to the 2015-infiltrated deadly Jihadists of "ISIS", who have already Cowardly Targetted and Murdered a lot of Innocent and Defenseless Civilian People in Europe on 2015-2016).

>>> On the Contrary, Facing such a Monstruous Barbarity, (which Targets and Kills also some Muslim and Other People, particularly Shiites, Yazidis, Chinese, Japan, etc), Speaking earlier to "Eurofora", Tajani had Strongly supported the View that, Nowadays, it was more Urgent than ever, for Inter-Religious Dialogue to strive to Forge and Develop at least some core Common Values, shared by All main Religions, from which could emerge a "New Humanism, (See, f.ex., also : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/euparliamentvpresidenttajanionreligionsversusterror.html).

An appeal to make the "World more Human", by defending basic Human Values, helping those in need, and paying hommage to Nature, figured high in Pope Benedict's long-awaited speech at his "First Angelus" in the symbolic, beautiful historic small town of Brixen/Bressalone at the Alpes.

- "No Dictature, nor any destructive force can rob us of the most important goods wich are God's gift", stressed Pope Benedict, referring to elementary Human Values, in a last-minute improvisation of his draft speech, before launching also a call to "help those in need", in order to "make the World more human".

- "Jesus is the focus .. In him is Justice and Freedom", said earlier Brixen's Bishop Wilhelm Egger, after prayers including calls to "Truth, Justice and Freedom", read at a Mass of thousands in the town of Archangel Michael, known as defender of christians against the devil.

In what looks as a reference to BioEthics' dillemas of crucial impportance, raised at Strasbourg's unique in the World legally binding International Treaty on BioMedicine and Human Rights (1998, with the "hottest" issues added later through additional protocols, some of whom are imminent), he spoke also of the splendid "Nature" at this Alpen's ressort : This fits well Vatican's earlier anouncement that Pope Benedict's "prayer intentions for August" are mainly to "respect God's design for the world", and "become ever more aware of the great gift of God which Creation represents for us".

- "The most important things in our lives cannot be bought, but are only given as holy gifts : The Sun and its Light, the Air that we breath, the Water, the beauty of Earth, Love, Friendship, Life itself", Pope Benedict added, extending also to Natural Environment, another topical issue after recent Climatic upheavals at several parts of the World.

The "preparation of Pope Benedict's visit to France", which currently heads the EU, at mid-September, among exceptionaly important Council of Europe meetings on Human Rights in Paris and Strasbourg, is part of his work, together with his "book on Jesus", during brief Summer Holidays in Brixen, said his Spokesman, Federico Lombardi.

- The Pope's message is mainly religious, theological. But we are living in a concrete world, and ideas may be taken by readers as references to the actuality. However, it's better to wait to se what the Pope will say in Paris and at Lourdes, added to EuroFora Lombardi, who is also Director of Vatican's Press Office.

Brizen/Bressanone is similar to Strasbourg by succeeding to make a fertile synthesis of Germanic and Latin sources of Europe, like the two local rivers who meet at the historical center of the town, among spectacular ressorts at mountains' hights.

Headquarters for an Historic Religious Seminar, it attracted recently also a Free University's Educational studies. Well-known as a long-time preferred rest place for former cardinal Radzinger and his brother Georg, it includes areas named "St Benedeto" and "St George"...

But Pope Benedict's first speech gave also another symbolic rendez-vous :

- "Next Wednesday, August 6, we shall commemorate the 30st anniversary from the death of late Pope Paul VI", who "concluded Vatican II", and "the Transfiguration of Jesus, mystery of the divine light, which exerced a unique fascination to his soul", he said to some 12.000 applauding People, among the happy few who succeeded to have a rare place for an open-air Mass inside the Domplatz a particularly sunny day at the Alpes.

Polls

2009 EU Elections were won by Parties against Technocracy and Turkey's controversial EU bid, while the 1999-2004 Majority Abstention trend decelerated. What should be done in 2009-2014 ?

* My Media didn't clearly say which political positions won in 2009 EU Elections. It left it gray and confused.

* Respect People's Democratic Choices, by making EU less Technocratic, more open to EU Citizens' participation, and by rectifying 1999-2004's errors on Turkey's controversial EU bid, which blocked EU institutions in an unprecedented Crisis
